Tiatia Matai Ceremony - Aina Notoa

Being a part of this Matai (Chief) ceremony in Samoa was such an honour. 15 of our family members were blessed to receive a Chief title from my Grandmother Leatuvai's family line - the name 'Tiatia'. 3 Generations united and it was heartfelt - a calling, a Divine Contract of the soul and amazing unfolding of events brought me to this day. It was the most powerful ceremonies I have taken part of and I am humbled at the interplay of universal laws and divine love that weaved this beautiful space - truly grateful. The first ceremony being blessed in a church (first in history - blessings usually take place together with Matai Ceremony). The second setting is a blessing from the elders of the family. Lastly the Matai Ceremony itself.
